As I watch the pathetic presstitutes in the mainstream media on both sides of the Atlantic continue their propaganda campaign against Donald Trump it occurred to me.....

"Why am I watching this bullshit?"

Dont get me wrong, I don't watch network news very often and I certainly don't watch it for the news. It's for comic relief. Listening to the talking heads is hilarious, most of them don't have the first clue how moronic they sound as they trot out their given narrative.

This morning I tuned into the 'News' and listened to a complete asshat going on about 'The Donald' being a racist because of the alleged 'Shitholes' quote. These idiots parading as purveyors of truth are desperately grabbing onto anything now to denegrated the man. They followed this up by blaming all manner of economic issues in Britain on Brexit! Sighs.

I will add at this juncture that I'm not a fan of any politician as far as I'm concerned they're all scumbags.

Afterall......

Anyone who wants to rule over others more than likely has sociapathic or psycopathic tendencies, in the past we had statesmen, not any more! When was the last time we saw a real statesman or woman running for office, anywhere?

Shitholegate as it will no doubt become known is just the latest in a litany of non-stories being debated by bought and paid for shills parading as legitimate journalists, clogging up the airways and getting the retarded SJW's all wound up into a frenzy of renewed 'Trump Hate'.

I'm not going to get too deep into the reasons why the MSM are going after Trump other than to say that they are being instructed to by their owners almost ALL of which backed Hillary Clinton either with donations or by slaughtering Trump on their networks. I'd rather focus on how we as individuals can try to affect some change.

Below is a fantastic infographic by FrugalDad.com illustrating just how ridiculously easy it has become to control the media, you just get 6 Oligarchs and you buy it all! Remember this was created over 5 years ago so it's only got worse since then. Take a look around the Internet, you can find similar situations in Britain, Australia and other countries.

You're never going to get unbiased reporting when you have a clique of billionaires controlling it to serve their own agendas.

However pissing and moaning about it won't change anything.

What can we do about it as individuals?
&
What can we do about it here at Steemit?

As individuals we can refuse to partake. Just stop watching, simple right? These networks rely on massive amounts of advertising revenue to survive, advertisements aimed at YOU! They also rely on license revenue, money that comes from YOU! I believe that if people just stopped tuning in to these news networks the advertisers would take their money elsewhere and that would leave the networks with 2 choices...

1. Go out of business.
2. Give people what they want, real news.

Take a look at the numbers.

Theyre not making a lot of money from 'other' are they!?

It may sound like a naive idea but we've got to try something, without a proper journalistic base holding the government and other large entities to account you end up with oligarchical fascism. Forget the racist aspect many people think of when they here the word fascism, I'm talking about the merger of corporations and the state, geez folks were a long way towards it already and without real investigative journalism there is no stopping it.

Come on folks, lets force them to change or go broke trying to feed us bullshit!

As Steemians, especially those who already write truth posts I propose a new tag #nomorefakenews I know it's not exactly earth shattering but I believe that in the coming years Steemit will be MASSIVE! New adopters may well be different to the earliest adopters here who were from the Crypto, Anarchocapatalist and voluntaryism camps. These people may well be jumping ship from Fakebook and the other social media platforms and looking for real news. Let's make it easy for them to find.

Every relevant post I write from this moment forward will contain the tag #nomorefakenews hopefully if it takes off it will be easy for old and new adopters alike to seek out real news from those of us who care about the truth.

Thats it, not exactly the most complex plan ever devised but the simpler a plan the easier to execute. It may fail miserably and I'm ok with that, it's better to try and fail than to sit back and do nothing. I'm just one man and on my own nothing I do would ever make any difference but together we CAN make a change

Its worth a try, right?
